Peer reviewedLeutzinger, Larry P.; Nelson, Glenn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
Problems and activities are presented for which "I can't do it" or "It can't be done" are the correct responses. Including problems of this type in the curriculum adds a new dimension to students' learning and helps to develop better problem solvers. (Author/MK)

Peer reviewedParker, Janet; Widmer, Connie Carroll – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
Describes the method to solve problems called T-E-M-T-T: trial, error, and modified trial through technology. The method integrates students' skills of estimation, mental computation, and appropriate choice of calculator use. Includes 2 activities for each of grades K-4 and 5-8 that illustrate the method.
